p.1 #1 · #271 Ferrous Only

Greetings all,

Great to see a mix of old and new faces out here!
I've been watching, but duties have prevented my participation.
First post, using my first LCD monitor, not sure I am happy with it.
Hope my entry appears somewhat as intended, please let me know what you think.

Thanks...Dan.

Hi Dan,

Great take on the theme. That must be some strong magnet. I like that it is green and this image is definitely sharp (sorry for the horrible pun). I like the image a lot. Good luck.

Hi Dan, good luck with your new monitor, it’s nice to see your work again.
This is a very interesting picture, no doubt the knife couldn’t resist her attraction…

Very nice!
I like the black background, it contrasts nicely with the green magnet and the the sharp knife edge. That is either one very large magnet or a very small knife. Either way it's a great WA entry.

Steve, thanks for the comments! And you are right, it is a very strong magnet. Puns are OK too.

Hello Nick,

Good to hear from you, and thanks for your input. The knife is about 13" and the magnet is, I believe, from a WWII era radar system.

Dan.

Hi Dan, have we met?

Great capture! Super sharp, great composition, and lighting.
The green of the magnet really 'attracted' me!

Great job!

Thank You!

I really wanted to capture an electro-magnet moving scrap iron. But due to time restraints, I was forced to cobble in the basement.

Hi Philly,

I think I may have commented on a few of your past entries.
I know your work has caught my eye over the past months of observing.
Nice to meet you, and thanks for the kind words.

Dan.

..
A very nice image and take on the WA. I like the simplicity of it and the lighting is great. very strong edges to it.

all the best
